The First Run of the Coral Gables Street Car, 1925 – Swampy’s Florida Historic Photos.
So begins the first streetcar in Coral Gables in 1925. This was the second go at street cars in Coral Gables. The tracks were extended to Miami and Miami Beach.
The street car was an active part of Miami life until the 1930s. Car manufacturers and road builders started complaining how outdated the street car was. Their campaign paid off and the street car was taken off the tracks and pushed into history.
